Tweeks (YC W25) Chrome Extension Leverages LLMs for Automated Userscript Generation, Sparks Debate on Privacy, Legality, and Open Source

Tweeks, a YC W25 Chrome extension, aims to 'de-enshittify' the web by automatically generating userscripts using Large Language Models (LLMs), similar to Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey. The extension captures current page content for LLM generation, with the resulting static scripts running locally. Key discussions revolve around technical feasibility, particularly with complex web structures and Manifest V3, and significant privacy concerns due to sending page content to LLMs during generation and the broad permissions required. Legal and platform risks, including potential site bans or lawsuits, are also central, with historical precedents like FB Purity cited. The business model and the extent of open-sourcing are debated, with the founders expressing caution about full open-source due to potential replication by larger entities. While users praise its ease of use for customization, the team acknowledges reliance on manual testing for accuracy and is exploring local small models for future cost and privacy improvements. The founders have disclosed DPA agreements with LLM providers regarding data retention and SOC II compliance.
